HOLDER.

ppi-manoir ined Jaiiuaryfez, 1927. Y*serial* No. 162,838,

This invention relates to improvements in holders and has particularreference to a holder for a writing instrumentality.`r j.

The piiinary object of the invention resides in a holder forinsertion upon the.

finger of aliuman hand for holding apencil, pen or brush in a writing position to relieve any fatigue on the part of a user.

Another object yof the invention is to provide a holder of the kind lmentioned which includes ka ring member adapted to beworn on the index linger of a user and a reinovablerclip associated therewith and which clip i'eceives the pencil to be held. By reason of the clip being removable from the ring, it is possible for theuser to wear the .ring at all times as the saine'is designed to simulate a finger ring so as not to attract lundue attention when worn as suoli.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a holder composed of two separable parts and which may be quickly assembled for use or disassembled when not in use. f

A still further object is to provide a holder of the class mentioned which is .simple in construction, inexpensive of manufacture and highly useful for the purpose intended.

Vtlith these and other objects in View, the invention resides in certain novel constructionand combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described, are particularly pointed out inthe appended claims, and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my iniproved holder in assembled' position upon the finger' of a user.

Figure Q is a horizontal sectional lview therethrough. c h

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the holder in a separated condition.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the reference numeral 10 designates my improved holder in its entirety and which includes an attaching means 11 and a pencil, pen or brush holder means 12. The attaching means 11 comprises an annular ring 13 having a iiat surface or head 14 thereon similar. to the well-known; linger rings and kwhich surfaces may have settings of jewels 15 therein or the initials of the owner may be inscribed thereon so as to resemble a signet ring. The rings may be .constructed of different? sizes. to lit vthe fore-linger ,or other `fingers oftheuser, and may be of different materials depending upon the likes .of the" user and' the price for which the ,articlel istol be sold.y The flat surface 14- has afsoc'ket 16' providedcentrally thereof and adjacent to the entrance there is provided spaced parallel resilient jaws 17 for normally restricting the entrance of the socket. The socket and thejaws constitute a female element for co-action with a male :ular writing instrument to be used. The

back of the clip is provided with a headed stud 19 and which head is received in the socket 16 when the parts aie iii assembled position and is locked therein by the jaws or wires 17. As the head is inserted into the socket, the jaws 17 will yield to permit of the entrance of the head but when properly seated, the jaws engage beneath the head and prevent accidental separation of thc parts.

In use, the user may constantly wear the ring 13 upon his finger for ornamental purposes and when writing or cleaning, the pencil, pen or brush is inserted into the clip 18 where itV is held by the saine and the clip connected with the ring 13 in a manner just explained. The ring is shifted down near the end of the finger to the position shown in element provided onl the holding means 124 Y Figure 1 of the drawing and the pencil ad- :ff:-

justed to the proper position in the clip. It will therefore be noted that the holder supports the pencil at the desired angle when writing and eliminates the necessity of the user in tightly gripping the pencil. The

fatigue. caused by. continuous writing is greatly relieved and the holder permits of a free and easy movement of the Ahand when writing thereby increasing the speed and improving the peninanship of the writer. At"

rest intervals, the pencil may be released by the fingers and turned about its 4pivot formed by .the socket and head to any desired position. The pivot point also allows the pencil to be adjusted radially with respect to the attaching ring.- i f By constructing the holder of two separable parts, itv is possible to employ a pluiol) rality of interchangeable clips in connection with a single ring to ,f receive instruments of different forms such :is a pencil, pen or brush thereby making it unnecessary to have a different ring for each writing instrument to be used. Thev clips may be left on the writing instrument so us not tov become lost when not in use.

1What is claimed as new is l. A holder of the class described comprising` a ring member having a surface thereon for receiving` :in ornamentation, a spring clip, u female element provided in the, surface of said rinO member, and a male element provided on said spring olip for co-afctionwith said female element for detaohably connectingl said clip with said ring member und for permitting turningmovement of the same with respect to each other.

2. A holder for Writing instrumentalities comprising en annular ring member having' a socket therein, yieldaole jaws normally restricting the entrance to said soc-liet, a spring clip, and a headed stud provided on said spring clip and insertihle in seid socket and engagea-ble by said vieldehle jaws for detachably connecting said clip with said nnnular ring,l member.

In testimony whereof I have nliixed mv signature.
